Can the Disklavier play PianoDisc disks

Can the Disklavier play PianoDisc disks

2008-11-10 by George Husson

I think I have the answer to this already but thought I would throw it out. I believe the PDS 128, when it writes a disk, must have it formatted in its own proprietary format. I have some PDS disks that I tried to play in the Disklavier floppy and it comes up as UNFORMATTED DISK.

I have tried taking an IBM formatted disk (DS/DD) to the PDS 128 and it plays okay.

Thanks.
